yabai 0.7.2 no longer supports the layer=normal key/value

[shrugalic]

Ever since #1929 I define most of my apps to have layer=normal:

yabai -m rule --add app=".*" layer=normal

This helped solve the issue where unmanaged applications, such as Eclipse, hiding windows of managed applications, such as Finder.

yabai -m rule --add app="^Eclipse$" manage=off

yabai v0.7.2 now complains unknown key 'layer' on launch, and consequently, unmanaged applications seem to hide windows of managed applications once more.

Is there another way to solve this previous issue?

There was a breaking change in v 0.7.x, as documented in #2128

Solution: use sub-layer instead of layer.

This solves my issue:

yabai -m rule --add app=".*" sub-layer=normal
